You would be forgiven for thinking life on a boat in the depths of winter may be extremely cold. After all, many do not enjoy luxuries such as double glazing or top quality insulation.
But the boating community in one area of Nottinghamshire say these misconceptions could not be further from the truth. Established in 1884, Beeston Marina boast a museum, beer garden, cafe and much more.
Martin Henson, 51, lives on his boat the George and Dragon with his wife and dog. They have lived on the Rylands for 6 years, in the winter months, however, his boat doesn’t get that cold.
